Web Watch: American and international craft

1. Room 406: What’s a concept venue, you might well ask.

Before I clicked on this site, I would not have been able to tell you. To be quite frank, I’m still not 100% sure, but I do know it’s very classy.

Room 406 is a concept venue — with a focus on the “highest levels of American and international craft”. We’re talking vintage furniture, small-batch textiles, rare artifacts, hand-thrown ceramics and contemporary art. They say on the site they work to support rural makers and preserve traditional ways of living. So that’s good.
